This is the plane that Marseille flew during very early '42...

...he is a real contender for "Greatest Ace of All Time," having shot down more a/c on the Western front than any other pilot in WW2...most of the Eastern front experten couldn't cut the mustard when they rotated back to the Western front, and many didn't live to tell about it: Philips, Nowotony, etc...even the ones that did live scored very little after they moved over: Rall, Barkhorn, Graf, etc...

Great job all around Fermis, but the kill markings going on is the perfect finishing touch. Yes

Outstanding work, and I'm a big fan of "Yellow 14".. I was the guy responsible for getting the CAF's Buchon painted as Marseille's (last) mount.. Good job posing the slats open too.. Most guys forget to do that...

Good job on the figures too, especially Ol' Hans... Knowing his background, he's proabably drunk already...

Outstanding build buddy, well done Yes Yes Yes I love that scheme on 109's.....I have to admit between this one and Tangos P-51a on little bases i've decided to start adding a small base and figures to mine from now on, it just adds so much to the look of it....BTW the figure is sweet, it looks just like him...

Marseille's 109...Finished(many pics)

Posted by fermis on Monday, October 25, 2010 7:14 PM

This is Hasegawas BF-109 F-4 Trop, as the title says, Marseille's bird. It had been in the stash for quite a few years, mostly built, engine, pit, fuse closed and wings attached. Engine is Cavalier Model Prod. and extra details provided by Technics. Finished off with MM enamels, a wash, and light exaust with pastels. Figs are from Legend. Having all the cool stuff done already, I didn't bother with a WIP, besides, who really wants another 109 WIP?!!! Stick out tongue
